I was investigating and it seems that could be a good option to create an Organization in Transifex at "https://www.transifex.com/organizations/add/". Of course is free for OSI-approved licensed projects. With this organization created we could support localization of Homestead-guide by a community of international contributors. Please let me know your opinion.

@iinstances if you would like to take a swing at setting it up and writing some directions up for those who want to contribute I would be more than happy to give you access to the transifex account and we can merge once it is organized and parts are translated.

Otherwise if you don't have the time to I will try to set it up again sometime after homestead

@/all I think the guide is in good enough shape (pending a couple small changes) to declare version 1 done by Sunday. Obviously it will be continuously updated after that, but i think we should strive to coincide the release of the documents with homestead so people have a place to go to find answers and not have to rely on the subreddit. What is everyone's opinion?

otherwise my only reservation is that this is an official guide associated with the foundation. If it will cover languages that I dont speak at all, will be hard to take responsibility. How is this handled in other projects? say mozilla? just trust?

Contract accounts only perform an operation when instructed to do so by an EOA. So it is not possible for a Contract account to be performing native operations like random number generation or API calls – it can do these things only if prompted by an EOA. This is because Ethereum requires nodes to be able to agree on the outcome of computation, which requires a guarantee of strictly deterministic execution.

how did complete nonsense paragraphs like this slip through the cracks. Grrrr

Oh - great. Are you going to look at that today/tomorrow, @hughlang?If so, I will leave that to you! Was just thinking it would start with a paragraph, and links to website, releases, github repo, etc.

I am HOPING that the other clients have existing "how to install binaries" and "how to build from source" content which we can just link to.

Hey @hughlang! I think you worked out what I meant, but just to be clear ...by "revector", I mean that the links to the various clients on http://docs.ethereum.org/en/latest/using-ethereum-the-basics/installing-a-client.html actually go their websites right now, where they should actually be internal-links to our own pages (which will include links to their websites amongst other things).Ethereum(J) because that's what they call themselves. ethereumH ditto (note not EthereumH). I've removed ethereum-ruby from the table after learning that it is actually not a full EVM. It's just a Ruby wrapper around JSON-RPC (like web3.js). That also seems to be the case for nethereum (a .NET equivalent) which we should mention somewhere. Do we have a page for web3.js already? Maybe we need a "wrappers" page for the three of them?

I don't know how to do internal links yet either. I introduced one or two absolute URLs to docs.ethereum.org yesterday and need to undo that sin. Perhaps I can do that right now if that is still not done.

If you have freelance work to do, @hughlang, I will pick that back up right now. Gonna get a little time for the next couple of hours.

I'll try to fix those links right now, and carry on with "Installing a client" and getting the boundaries right between it and the client pages, even if they aren't done yet. We can fill them in today/tomorrow.

How can I use Ethereum to get information about the future? Augur and Gnosis are building prediction markets that try to gather the best information about uncertain future events. Besides that, there are also other interesting Ethereum-related projects on the market:

Hi again, I have investigated how to use transifex from the scratch for Homestead Location but it would have implications respect the ethereum project as a whole that my current role does not reach. Sorry, I have tried it. As an idea, it would be interesting to open a new room only for Homestead-guide internationalization, where I would be happy to contribute but in colaborations with other developers/translator. :smile_cat:
